Customize and Analyze the Collateral Cash Flow Modeling Process

Forensic Analysis

Understand the sources and uses of cash in the structure

See collateral, bond, and reserve account outstandings
See if interest or reserves are used to pay principals
Understand the use of over-collateralization, and how much is needed to pay the bond principal
See where bond principal or reserves are used to pay bond interest
Understand writedowns on bonds, or a failure to pay required bond principal relative to collateral writedowns

Customization

Control the structure in detail

Customize calculations to change the waterfall cash flows
Build waterfall triggers in the structure
Add customized fees, reserves, and bonds

Structure Wizard

Plan the structure and paste it into the Wizard

Paste in the Bond Structure and Waterfall Priority
Select Collateral Pool
See the final structure graphically

Sensitivity Analysis

Advanced cash flow risk analytics are integrated into BondAgent™.

Stochastic Generator

BondAgent performs stochastic analysis of collateral model drivers for cash flow generation.

Simulates stochastically a range of outcomes or paths for macro-factors that drive MIAC collateral behavior models, such as unemployment, house price index, and CPPI
Performs analysis with as many macro-factor paths as desired (select number of paths)
Automates user-defined calibration of stochastic models from historical time-series’ via the Hurst exponent
Produces a correlation matrix for selected variables so that they retain historical or even user defined inter-dependencies

Price/Yield Tables

Update collateral and bond pricing assumptions.

Bond Shocks: Yield shocks, spread shocks, price shocks (solve for yield)
Collateral Shocks: Prepayment speed, default, and loss assumptions
Generate separate cash flow tabs for each collateral assumption

Reverse Stress Testing

Reverse Stress Testing determines the specific levels of CDR (or REO Entry) Pct, CPR, or Loss that result in user-defined levels or loss or paydown for the bond.

Solves for timing and magnitude of borrower behavior for when targets are reached
Works through the entire waterfall to show how each bond below a targeted bond is written down
